It’s been a long time coming and I’ve finally turned the corner on a new direction for the clinic that I’ve been looking toward for some time now.
Over the past year I have been studying Functional Medicine with the goal to incorporate more nutrition and a better understanding of my patients’ needs by incorporating a more holistic view in terms of diet and nutrition… but what I’ve found is that this new approach has been a mind-shift for me personally in my own life and my own health goals.
Watching friends and colleagues of mine contracting cancer all the while living seemingly “healthy” lives has been a real eye-opener for me lately. The hidden dangers of stress and poor nutrition are very real risks especially when left unchecked over long periods of time. Practitioners and patients alike need to start taking their heads out of the sand and be honest with themselves. Obtaining better health isn’t the result of taking a course of prescription medications. Better health for you comes from eating better and living lives filled with exercise, movement and stress-reducing activities with our families and friends. Treating patients holistically is where I’ve always wanted to see myself in my career as a health care professional and I think I’m finally getting there.
I’m going to be talking to you more about your diet, exercise and supplementation because I really want you to be healthy and have a higher quality of life. That’s my responsibility as a health care provider, to provide health or at least healthier alternatives.
The addition of Revolve Pilates at Longbeach Chiropractic & Wellness is only one of a few exciting changes happening at the clinic. With a focus on overall health, we will be offering:
- Process Psychotherapy with Dai Heyne and Anika Nikol
- Deep tissue and sports massage
- Lymph drainage and reflexology
- Specialised nutritional consultation and eating plans
- Specialised supplementation plans
- Weight loss clinic
- Personal training
- Sports performance enhancement
- Chiropractic care
In addition to the above, my treatment will now include Studio time for the “active care” portion of your treatment. What I keep witnessing is that patients who are actively involved in their care get better faster than those who leave it all up to the doctor or therapist. I can’t force you to get involved, but I’m going to ask.
Check out our Facebook page and website for updates on what we offer or give us a call on 021 785 4855 if you’d like a no-cost sit down with me to discuss how we could get you back on track with your health goals.
